Bionic Commando demo time limit got you down? Now there's a work-around that lets you invite your friends into a match, create a private match, change time limit to your liking, and even just explore on your own. Here's how you do it:
Go to the main screen and hit start. Stay in that screen.
Get a friend to send you a game invite, any game will do
Accept that invite, and when it asks you to exit your game, say NO
You can now select private matches and invite friends
After the jump you'll find a video showing off the multiplayer demo of Bionic Commando. That introduction with the arm is pretty damned slick, as is the footage at the end (see image from above). Oh, and the gaming action itself looks great too.

I like how they just throw you into the game w/o letting you see which buttons do what. You can't even check the control set up from the options menu. That's totally rad!

I've still got this pre-ordered though, I think the single player will be worth it at least. The multiplayer .. not so much.
I wish that guys in space suits would get old.... Halo, that game where dudes wore yellow shiny gear but the name completely slips my mind and it failed on PS3, and all those other games where the characters wear space suits like that.
I only played one match of the multiplayer demo, because I couldn't really get a hang of the controls (hur hur pun intended), and playing with randoms is never as good as playing with friends.
This is an extremely addictive demo. It's too bad there's only one map.
I really don't understand where all the hate in the controls are. From watching a couple of videos, I already knew what to expect in terms of swinging.
It took me literally 2 matches to get into it and I have dominated every match from there. Can't wait till it's out.

What are you talking about? You can so check out the buttons in the options and the loading screen...
